• Twenty Reasons Not to Have a Baby

  I can't possibly be the only person who made the decision to become a parent with my heart as much as my head, right? I mean maybe I run with a remarkably touchy-feely crowd, but most of us didn't lay out pros and cons and weigh all the options and so on; we just did, because it felt like it was time and because the idea of not having kids felt so much more awful than the consequences of having  them. But this list from the Guardian in London made me wonder,  along with Read More...

• Top 6 Reasons New Moms are Selfish

  New moms are selfish.  There, I said it.  I know you wanted to say it to so I've just saved you the trouble.  I'm willing to take the heat.  So bring it.  The Stroller Derby crew generated some great ideas when we first started discussing this usually taboo topic.   Here are the top 10 reasons we've come up with that new mothers are selfish.  Feel free to add yours. 1. Always with the crying - New moms cry.  They don't seem to care that it's upsetting to witness the heaving shoulders, and red puffy faces.  Don't they even care what they look like? 2. Refusing sex - Even when they get the "green light" from their doctors at the six-week check-ups.  Even when the ice packs the the Tylenol-3s are put away.  Still, many new moms are hesitant to rev up the sex engines again.  How insensitive can you get?!! 3. Possessiveness - New Moms often refuse to let grandparents babysit, even when the babies are TWO months old. I mean come on!!  What does a person need to do to get some serious bonding time with a new baby?  Don't you think a new Mom would understand that better than anyone? Read More...

• Sex Tips for Parents: First Things First, Get a "Shag Lock"

  It's not a secret that having a baby can throw a big, huge, flaming Molotov Cocktail into your sex life.

You're not as tired and the friskiness has returned. You and your partner might be gearing up for a little morning lovin' while Barney is on when all of a sudden a 2-foot-tall, 28 pound person is at the foot of the bed asking for "ceweal." (Performance anxiety anyone?) The solution? A "shag lock," says one mommy blogger. Seriously. Read the link and find out how you can save your sex life for $1.69. You're welcome.
